If my DSL modem is using NAT, so that my box shows a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address but the outside world is seeing 71.xxx.xxx.xxx can I still use a service like dyndns? Will that get past the modem to my box, or will it get stuck?You might want to look at registering your ip with one of the dynamic dns services, who will effectively map your address to a static for you. ddns rings a bell as a Debian package.
